Description:

A fun upper pitch just to the left of Open Book. Get up to the big ramp left of "Traitor Horn" via Coffin Nail or first two pitches of Jensen's Jaunt. Belay left of the "Traitor Horn" to experience the thin ledge traverse, or right of the "Traitor Horn" (with a little 5.8 move) so belayer can maintain eye contact with the leader going up the dihedral crack to pull the roof and over onto the real horn. Rejoins last pitch of Jensen's Jaunt to the top

Descent Options:

walkoff via friction descent

5 out of 5 stars Memorable.

Did it from Jenson's. Both the traitor horn and true horn offer interesting climbing. I'm sure this won't be the last time I get on this one.
